! but one thing for sure on that stage last night we only saw one commander in chief. yes, obama wins round three of the presidential debate hands down. we'll get into it every which way here for the next three hours but first today's latest, the current news update from lisa ferguson out in los angeles. hi lisa, good morning. >> hey bill. good morning everyone. if you are asking yourself who won last night's presidential debate you probably weren't watching. president obama came out with a strong and aggressive performance against mitt romney on foreign policy. the first instant poll from cbs shows 53% of undecided voters say president obama came out on top, just 23% say toward romney. but there are some differing opinions out there. according to cnn poll, only 40% of viewers say romney won but 60% say he is ready to handle the responsibilities of president. and 32% of independents say they are now more likely to vote for romney after last night's performance. that is surprising since by most accounts president obam

for iraq from george w. bush to barack obama." welcome to both of you. great to be able to talk to both of you here. the close of this campaign. it is very interesting to hear both president obama and mitt romney look in their rearview mirror about the last decade in foreign policy and national security policy and the president saying, look, i ended the war in iraq, we are on a glide path out of afghanistan. and yet we know the threat from both of these countries still remains and there's a lot of unfinished business. michael, you get to a lot of that of course in your book, in iraq. the idea that we're done. put it in the rear view mir but there's a lot of unfinished business. >> yeah. one thing that's striking to me is just really the gap between the campaign rhetoric and what the obama administration's actual policy was in iraq because you have to ask yourself the question, what does it mean to end a war? and it's lot more than simply removing troops and actually, when president obama approached iraq, he, himself, and his team, thought it entailed a lot more than removing troops them

's been a rough month for obama here. the last debate romney completely bungled the libya attack. >> two missteps, one was coming out too early. >> we processed and moved on from. he had a two minute time to really hit the president on this and instead he was talking about israel and about being a strong horse in the middle east. he really screwed it up. it will be interesting to see whether he learns from his mistake and actually comes up with a coaching critique including coming back at the president when the president plays the how dare you accuse me of politicizing this card. >> it does seem to me, erin in the first debate mitt romney did very well in that people found him much more likeable. they could see him as a commander-in-chief. there was a lot of push back after the second debate that maybe and he was little rude, a little pushy, maybe a little too tough. does he have to sort of find a middle ground tonight? >> he probably does, i would say so. romney is still trying to pass the commander-in-chief test. i think the president will probably say that mitt romney is using preside

to american spring wire, mr. romney hammered away at president obama for not being tough on china. not the way that he mitt romney would be tough on china. but the company mr. romney chose for his backdrop that day, the company that he chose to implicitly help make that case so happened to be a poster child for success by president obama in getting tough on china. in 2009 in the first months of president obama's presidency, american spring wire joined with two other makers to ask for help. china was unfairly dumping steel wire in the united states market at artificial low prices. they asked for help. the commerce department said they would investigate and the commerce department did move to protect american spring wire. they cracked down on china for dumping their underpriced product. thus the company was benefitted. they got the help they wanted. a company that was then used as a backdrop for mitt romney saying president obama had not been tough on china. today mr. romney gave a major address on economic policy. this is part of his closing argument for the presidency. he delivered the speech

, counting down to the final debate between president obama and governor romney. there is brand new finger-pointing over what the president claims he knew about libya and when. republicans are saying this new report is based on selectively leaked information timed to take the pressure off president obama. according to the reporting of the the "wall street journal," parent company of this network. the c.i.a. intelligence briefing pointed to a protest as a possible motive for up to ten days after the attack that killed the u.s. ambassador and three others. republicans have criticized the united states ambassador to the united nations and other officials for saying that the attack likely stemmed from a protest. according to the reporting of the "wall street journal", the c.i.a. daily intelligence updates did not rule it out until accept 22 despite officials at office of the director of national intelligence who said by september 15 a protest had nothing to do with the attack. that is the top story. ed henry is live on it. the debate tonight is supposed to be about foreign possibility and the

americaing now that the obama administration knew right away that the benghazi terror attack was not caused by a spontaneous protest over a video. >> state department e-mails one shows an al qaeda linked group claimed responsibility for the attack as it happened. molly henneberg is live. >> these e-mails were sent on september 11th as the attack was unfolding in libya. they were sent in real time by the state department to about 300 to 400 national security officials. in the white house situation room, the fbi, director of national intelligence and state department they say a terrorist group had claimed responsibility for the attack. let's go through the earliest e-mail. e-mail number one 4:05 eastern time on 9-11. it says quote u.s. in benghazi under attack. svu, sensitive but unclassified. it goes on quote proximate patly 20 armed people fired shots. explosions have been heard as well. ambassador stevens currently in benghazi and four personnel are in the compound safe haven. the next e-mail 50 minutes later update number one u.s. diplomatic mission in benghazi svu the firing has stopped

president obama said he slightly there with the detroit lions, but our indicators are unconventional indicators show that if the lions win the election, mitt romney. the san francisco giants wind, obama is favored. we also look at the redskins record, and they will be playing the carolina panthers in the final game, and the redskins are slightly favored. and if they win, the incumbent is likely to win. just so you have that. now, onto our election panel. in today's abc -- excuse me come in tuesday's abc news "washington post" poll, romney and obama were separated by seven hundredths of 1%. i don't think i've ever seen anything that close. we're going to turn to michael first to talk about what he sees the election at this point and then hendry will take a look at ohio, the state we're all watching most closely. and, finally, norval look at the senate, compared with and house races. michael, let's begin. >> thank you very much, karlyn, and this is been an exciting election season here. i think we all pretty much agreed we have something of a sea change or significant change in this el

today going after the cia now as well as the obama administration. he painted a picture of libya in chaos, this dire situation. my colleague chuck todd played a sound clip from john mccain in july. this is how senator mccain described libya at the time. let me play it. >> i was there for their election, and you know how many people i met who had their sons or husbands, their fathers, their family members slaughtered by omgadhafi? to say libya is a failure, actually it's a great success. >> a great success in july. today some say ilgts a talking foint for republicans who want to attack the president and politicize what happens there as a result of the four deaths, tragic deaths of the americans on the front line of diplomacy. chip. >> a lot changes in foreign policy in a week, not to mention a couple of months. today i think libya is in chaos, and what we've seen is the president and administration changed on what it was. at first it was a video and then an act of terror. we know there's investigations, and that's what the question is. what exactly happened. what do we know, when

in that state, 8.7% in september. the 2008 vote went to president obama with a net of 2.8% in that state. this talk about unemployment and the economy, brian crowley. how much of that is a factor in florida? guest: i don't think it was a coincidence that during the foreign policy debate, mitt romney kept bringing it back to the economy. most people turning in were not going to be paying that close attention to some of the foreign policy issues, and i don't think many \ voters go to the polls to vote based on what our decisions will be with china or cuba, for that matter. but they do vote with their pocketbooks. statewide unemployment in florida is 8.7%, but it is much higher in various pockets of florida. in some counties, as high as 12% unemployment. as we all know, that does not talk about the under-employed. the economy is still struggling in florida. we have signs of it getting better, but i heard a story that foreclosures in the state are the highest in the nation. there's a lot of economic pressure in the state. people are feeling the pain, and whoever sells the economic message be

obama. the republican nominee has moved above 50% in key polls, maintaining that level with just over two weeks from election day. and that is historically a strong indicator of victory in november. the polls turned positive for governor romney quickly after the first debate and have strengthened since. that after the candidates had been in a virtual tie nationally for months with a slight edge to the president. will those strengthening national polls with polls narrowing in battleground states as well and the governor's favorability ratings also moving that combined make it fair to ask whether it's too early to can ask the question, as the third debate is looming this coming mondayay, has america already decided? let's take a look at where these candidates and their campaigns stand tonight. the gallup national survey of likely voters shows governor romney with a six-point lead over president obama. this poll was tied at 48% as recently as the 9th of this month. a rasmussen reports poll of 11 swing states has governor romney up 49% to 47%. president obama losing his six-point octoberr

religion shows a gender gap among voters that is similar to recent presidential election. obama is pulling more support among women voters. the gap appears to be driven less by issues such as reproductive rights, abortion of course we see low salient issue for most voters including when by instrument more bite social safety net concern. at what's interesting is in recent weeks as the romney campaign has been able to close the gap despite this data showing that women are less likely to believe that programs create a culture of dependency and despite the data showing that women can more about health care as an issue. women like men are most likely to say that the economy matters in their decision, so it appears that the romney campaign and this is on how the economy is affecting women, namely that there more women in poverty under the obama administration, and the recession has hit women hard in terms of job loss. this message may be making traction among women voters. when it comes to catholics, there are several points to emphasize. while catholics overall are more supportive of obama in t

to election day there are lots of questions right now about the impact of president obama's bad october is having on democrats around the country in other races. take a look at the balance of power in the house right now. republicans hold the majority, 240 seats, to democrats 190. there are five vacant seats right now. let's talk about it with shane deapril of campaigns and elections magazine. he is the editor. shane, democrats have talked like they would be able to recapture the house, maybe put nancy pelosi back in place as speaker of the house. how is that looking right now after the month the president obama has had? >> yeah right now, jon, it doesn't look good in terms of democrats being able to retake the house majority. i think if you go back to the beginning of the year to get those 25 seats which is what democrats would need, that was a very tall task to begin with. i don't think there were too many analysts who actually thought that democrats had a shot at that. but i think with the tightening of the top of the ballot between mitt romney and president obama, you have seen a sh

and change. the obama administration was going to be that transcendent administration that brought us all together. that is why barack obama earned the white house because he said it was granted a great uniter. remember that beautiful inaugural address and was glorious where he said to conservatives i want to listen to you especially when we disagree. nice, beautiful idea. and he was going to meet with conservatives in congress once a week. the was agreed idea, too. he met twice. so, three days after that beautiful speech, the conservatives in congress came to the white house and they had a meeting and eric cantor, a congressman from virginia articulated the perspective on increasing taxes that we shouldn't do that and you know what obama said three days after? he said i won, you lost. about a week later he said i won the folks that got us into this mess to do a whole lot less talking and a lot more listening. you can talk a little bit but i want you to stay on the sidelines while we try to clean this up for you. unbelievable. gone with any notion of unifying the country of bringing us to

left says something, one president. obama says vaccines might cause autism that was ignored. and yes he did say that if we will talk about that later in my top. also there have always been several books published on the topic. there are a couple of other books so if you want to find out how the right is bad at science and there's a big market for that. to our knowledge this is the first book on the anti-scientific left for the so progressives are anti-science as well but let's give the devil -- >> within a month of yours. >> progressives are anti-scientists well. it's just that it's not reported by the media. the media simply looks the other way when their political allies do things that are anti-science. so who are the progressives? what do we mean by progressive? retook david nolan's charter and we kind of relabeled re-relabeled it to take more of our political ideology today. conservatives and libertarians are the easiest to identify. the conservatives are the main train in stream republican party and the libertarians need no introduction, the ron paul institution. the left's howe

disillusioned. a >>> we are ten days away from the presidential election. president obama seems to be steadily regaining a narrow lead, a lead he held over mitt romney before the presidential debates began earlier this month. the latest polling averages according to nate silver of "the new york times" give president obama 50.3 with mitt romney 48.6. president obama has a 74% chance of winning the election based on his strong performance in several swing states. the president is hoping to capitalize on the momentum to encourage voters to go to the polls as soon as possible by taking advantage of early voting. as of this morning, more than 10.5 million people have already cast their ballots including the president himself. president obama flew back to chicago on thursday to take advantage of early voting in illinois becoming the first sitting president in history to cast a ballot early. mitt romney's campaign, meanwhile, has been buffeted by a series of things that happened to put him on defensive. richard mourdock, who romney has endorsed, became the latest gop candidate to make con throw versa

him in a dead lite with president obama in a brand brnd national poll. with just over two weeks to go, we will break down the numbers in the key swing states with ed rollins, and karl rove, deputy chief of staff for president george w. bush with the white board. i'm shannon bream. america's news headquarters from the nation's capitol starts right now. the deadly consulate attack in benghazi is sure to be a featured topic in tomorrow's final presidential debate. surrogates from both sides are heating up saying their candidate will be the better commander in chief. john roberts is live in boca raton, florida, the site of the debate. >> reporter: good afternoon. i have never seen a series of debates in my political history that have been as important and moved the numbers like these ones have. tomorrow night, it will be for all the marbles. it is foreign policy, so a lot of topics, expected to come up, iran, china and libbia. the president will be under more pressure to fully explain the shifting positions that his administration took in the days, actually weeks, following that attack be

obama, governor romney, squaring off in the third and final faceoff tonight in the debate that could tilt the race in a whole new direction, because tomorrow when you wake up you're two weeks away from america's big vote. good morning, i'm bill hemmer. welcome to "america's newsroom.". martha: good morning, everybody, i'm martha maccallum. tonight will be the last time the president and governor will be on the same stage. focus tonight is foreign policy truly a topic that could not be any hotter. bill: both sides debating the administration's actions before and after the terror attack in libya. republican senator lindsey graham on "fox news sunday" with chris wallace. saying the white house reaction to it is one for the ages. >> i'm totally convinced this will go down in history as one of the most major breakdowns of national security in a very long time. bill: to florida we go and senior national correspondent john roberts live at lynn university, boca raton, the site of tonight's debate. good morning. >> reporter: bill, good morning to you. libya and the situation at the consulate

. president obama took them in 2008. our brand new cnn/orc poll is just coming in and it shows president obama leading in ohio right now 50% to mitt romney's 46%. but that's within the sampling error. it's a statistical tie in other words. our chief national correspondent john king is joining us. john, break down the numbers for us. no state right now is more important than ohio. >> you can make that case. no state is more important than ohio. you mention it's within the margin of error but yet another poll showing the president with a small lead in ohio. he's had that pretty much across the general election season. what's driving it right now? in a battleground state like ohio, the president is getting democrats, romney is getting the republicans. the candidate to win election day is likely to win the state and at the moment the president has a five-point edge among independents likely voters. president at 49% governor romney at 44%. that's one of the key reasons the president has the small but still a stubborn lead in the state of ohio. now let's look at this age d

is $14 billion a year which put a spin under the george bush administration and the obama administration. where are you going to put this investment and get the money to build those additional ships? where are you going to get the sailors? talk about increasing the marines and the army, downsizing, the navy has been downsizing for a while. where are you going to get the sailors? >> my understanding is when john lehmann laid out a very specific plan there were two elements the governor has already spoken about. another element being considered. what was spoken about, first of all fifteen ships the year and second of all the three submarine's a year. so the rest of it is what we would consider. these are objective is. number 2 is how do you move the money around? when you move the money and where you take the additional money that is -- we predict we would allocate to the defense department, it is not at all surprising given the -- i don't care how good a ship -- you know very well, i don't care how good a ship is, you could only have one ship in one place at one time. if you want to have

or so, president obama has arrived in southern florida. we should tell you that mitt romney is already there. the scene of tonight's debate is boca raton. and the subject is foreign policy. and the format will be this, barack obama and mitt romney, seated, they're going to be seated around a table with bob schieffer of cbs news. that's a hall you're looking at, obviously, it is a rehearsal. as you can see, they will be pretty cozy sitting around that table there. and now just in time for tonight's big debate, a very big story concerning foreign policy. possible, possible talks between the united states and iran after the election. one on one talks about iran's nuclear program and that would be a major shift in washington's policy toward tehran. keep in mind, though, the obama administration and iran both denight the talks have been agreed to. jim acosta, to you, he's at the scene for us of tonight's big debate, our coverage by the way begins tonight at 7:00 eastern. curious timing here, the story about potential talks between the u.s. and iran. i'm guessing that could take center stage

to the president by interrupting governor romney and saying that president obama had indeed labeled the benghazi attack as a result of terrorism. now, he did mention acts of terror, but most certainly he didhe not attribute the assaultn libya to such a thing. >> no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. >> huckabee: for another two and a half weeks, he continued to blame the murder of our ambassador on a cheap youtube video. don't believe for a minute that his rose garden comments were intended to identify the benghazi attack as the work of terrorists. let's just suppose for a moment that he did intend it, and he said it. if that's what he believed on september 12th, then why, why would he and his administration speak repeatedly about that little video and with such authority and certainty? the only thing that is more difficult than accurately predicting the future is when you try to rewrite history. and sworn testimony in congress confirmed that this was no spontaneous uprising, no. it was a ca

for the republican side florida and nationally as we move forward. >>> what does team obama think about the recent shift in the polls? former white house chief of staff mayor rahm emanuel say they knew this would be the case. >> it is a very tight race. it's a competitive race. we always knew it would be in this place in the sense that it is coming down to a few states and a few votes. one candidate wants to take us back to the policies that led to the economic near collapse of the great recession who turned his back on the auto industry and a president who believes by investing in american people investing in the middle class that that is the best way to grow the economy. everybody always knew this was a tight race and it was going to come down to a few states. i think that that is where we are today and that's why every vote counts in these key battle ground states. >>> for all of the debate coverage keep it here on fox. programming starts at 8:55 p. mchl with megyn kel leap and bret baier. >>> it is time now for your top 5@5:00. a major ter flort dubbed 9-11 ii spoiled in jordan. the man report

biology. however, when someone on the far left does something, when president barack obama says that vaccines might cause autism, that was ignored. and, yes, he did say that. we'll talk about that later in the talk. so, also, there have already been several books published on the topic. chris mooney's one of them, there's a couple other books. so if you want to find out how the right is bad at science, there's already a lot of that. to our knowledge, this is the first book on the anti-scientific left. >> let's give the dell -- devil his due, bob -- [inaudible] wrote a book within months of yours, at the same time. >> oh, okay. and progressives are anti-science as well, it's just it's not reported the media. the media looks the other way when their political allies do things that are anti-science. what do we mean by progressives? well, we took david no lab's chart here -- nolan's chart and relabeled it to fit our political ideology today. conservatives and libertarians are the easiest to identify, libertarians need no introduction, i think. the ron paul revolution, bring us back
